  • Small, friendly and family-run site on the north Cornish coast
  • Just over a mile from Crackington Haven; coast path access to beach
  • Local bus stop 50 metres away at the hamlet of St Gennys
You'll be aware, obvs, that a site anywhere near any Cornish coast tends to be among scenery that's pretty terrific. And so it is at north Cornwall's Coxford Meadow Campsite, a small, friendly and family-run site in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just over a mile from Crackington Haven. Pitch up among countryside and sea views at this peaceful park, where there's loads of green open space, roomy pitches and plenty of scope for play. The beach is five minutes' drive away (or a mile and a half's amble along the fab and famed South West Coast Path), and other fab and famed Cornish destinations like Widemouth Bay, Bude and Boscastle are within 15 minutes' drive. The site is popular with guests – and just right too – who come for the laidback vibe, the splendid scenery, the spacious pitches and the immaculate amenities; the play area in the centre of the pitching field has picked up a few plaudits too. All guests have access to spotless toilets and hot showers, a microwave, and a freezer for ice packs, as well as a pool table in reception for benign or intense family competitions. Getting out and about is easy peasy from here with the beach and the coast path so close, but if you'd prefer to let someone else ferry you around, the nearest bus stop is just 50 metres from Coxford Meadow's entrance at the local hamlet of St Gennys.

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Level pitch, we had a distant view of the sea. Spotlessly clean facilities. Bus stop few minutes walk at the end of the lane. We walked down to the beach via the footpath and caught the bus back up the hill! Friendly owners out and about keeping everywhere clean and tidy and always ready for a chat but not imposing.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Owners were very helpful. Site was well maintained, small site so not noisy. Warm showers. Location was great. WiFi at the house and not on pitch, although that wasn't an issue.

Disliked: Gaps above and below toilets, not really private, but the positives of this site outweighed that. Just personal thought.

Local attractions

If you've holidayed here before, you should also be aware that Cornwall's beaches on the north and south side are almost all utterly spectacular, from the lengthy golden stretches of Summerleaze and Crooklets in Bude (each within 20 minutes' drive of the site) to the gentle waters of Looe and the wide sands of Polperro, both around an hour and five minutes away. And then there are the also utterly spectacular sandy specimens deep in Cornwall's west around Land's End: Sennen Cove, Mullion, Kynance Cove, Porthcurno… all within a couple of hours' drive and jolly well worth it too. Just over an hour away, have days at Falmouth (and the National Maritime Museum and must-do boat trips on the River Fal) and Polkerris, for its wide sandy cove, watersports and rockpooling. Coxford Meadow's also fably set for investigating the highlights of Tintagel (25 minutes), Port Isaac (35 minutes), the Camel Trail from Bodmin (45 minutes) to Padstow (55 minutes), and the wide expanses – and possible beast? – of Bodmin Moor (40 minutes).
